Best Budget: Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt

Many assume that Tempur-Pedic mattresses are only for those with deep pockets, but the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt is priced similarly to many of its competitors. One of the most affordable models of the line, the TEMPUR-Adapt ranges in price from $1,599 to $2,799 and is perfect for side and back sleepers. The mattress offers an 11” profile and is medium in firmness. A cool-touch cover helps absorb body heat and regulate temperature throughout the night, while memory foam comfort layers provide just enough softness for back and side sleepers.

TEMPUR-Adapt owners remark that the mattress provides a comfortable and cool sleeping surface. Though the mattress is one-sided (so you cannot flip it to extend its lifetime), the TEMPUR-Adapt conforms to your body to relieve pressure and soreness.

This mattress provides the ultimate in adaptive comfort, perfectly conforming to every contour of your body. A support layer made with TEMPUR-HD material helps to distribute body weight throughout the mattress and keep the pressure at bay.

From hip to upper back issues, customers say the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Contour Elite relieves all types of aches and pains. They do note that it’s very firm, so be aware before you buy. If you are hunting for an extra-firm, extra-supportive mattress, the TEMPUR-Contour Elite may be a great choice for you.

If you want the same Tempur-Pedic support without splurging for a new mattress, consider a topper to improve your existing one. We love the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR Supreme 3-Inch Premium Foam Mattress Topper because it provides adaptive support and pressure relief at a fraction of the cost of a new mattress. Made with the same Tempur foam material as the brand’s mattresses, this foam topper also features a washable cover, so you can combat allergens and dust-mites easily. Perfect for your own bed, a guest bed, a dorm room or even a pull-out couch, the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR Supreme is also backed by a 25-year warranty against defects.

A Tempur-Pedic mattress is an investment, so you’ll want to protect your mattress with a cover. The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Protect cover is a waterproof protector made specifically for your Tempur-Pedic. It fits mattresses 8” to 14” deep and comes in Twin XL through California King sizes. Made from 100% polyester, the TEMPUR-Protect is made from a patented “ThermalSense” material that’s lightweight and allows for airflow, maintaining a cool, even temperature all night. It’s both machine and dryer-safe, and totally waterproof against most spills.

Owners like that the TEMPUR-Protect cover feels like a sheet (not like a plastic cover) and fits snugly against most mattresses. It’s made with an elastic band (not a zipper), so it doesn’t provide full top-to-bottom coverage, but it protects nearly all the surface area that matters. Splurging on a mattress can end up being a great choice for your health, but protecting it can be an even better one for your wallet.
